Watch Review of the Nomadic Turas 914 Expedition White-Out

Disclaimer: I received this product on loan from the company for review purposes. I received no monetary compensation, and my opinions are honest and unbiased.
What if Rolex, Grand Seiko, Tudor, and Omega got sloppy drunk and had a baby together?
Then you might get the beautifully bold Nomadic Turas 914 Expedition whiteout!
borrowing from the Rolex Explorer, Turor Ranger, Omega Aquaterra, and Grand Seiko Snowflake
An elegant yet weighty and robust expedition watch crafted from fine-brushed stainless steel, powered by a Swiss movement and proudly built in Belfast. The first 100 Turas ordered are individually numbered limited editions.
Turas has a textured, polar white dial that more than nods to the icy terrain traversed by Shackelton and his men on their ill-fated polar expedition.
Raised numerals add a subtle touch of gentlemanly luxury.
Phosphorescent hands and dial markers use SuperLumiNova® to release stored light energy slowly, providing vital detail at a glance when the sun dips below the horizon.
The Turas 914's exhibition case back is a tribute to the 1914 endurance expedition. There's a small engraving of the men's famous lifeboat - the James Caird - and their struggle to pull it across 830 icy miles. The Shackleton family's motto is engraved on the watch: 'Through endurance we conquer.
Each Turas is proudly built in Belfast, yet another connection to the Irish gentry Shackleton and his right-hand-Kerry-man, Tom Crean. Precision-engineered and hand-built by our skilled technicians, every Turas 914 has a screw-down case back to guarantee up to 330ft of saltwater resistance.

    Yes! I’m sort of on that camp as well However, they are making small enough numbers to meet the demands of their audience So maybe not misreading the market as a whole as much as focusing on a particular nitch audience

    Thank you for the comprehensive and thorough review. I always loved the GS birch dial; nice to see another watch taking inspiration but with an original twist. If I can offer a suggestion, lose the music while you're talking. I find it distracts from what you're saying.

    Hey Kevin! I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Point taken about the music: to be honest, after doing all the work, I did feel like, at minimum, that music was too loud… but sometimes I choose “done “ over “perfect,” hoping to take what I learned into the next one, so believe me I'll pay more attention the music next time 💪🏼 I am grateful for your comment and your very constructive criticism You rock, man 🍺🍔

    Yes!!! Lume is not a highlight of this watch, to be honest, and I have struggled to record good Lume shots before As I was doing this review, I purchased a UV flashlight. Man, these lights supercharge the lume! I should be able to do better lume shots from now on. With all that's said, the Lume in This watch is like a 5/10 😆 Thank you for the comments and the suggestions It really helps me improve the channel! you rock 🍺🍔

    Thanks! Did you check my review of the CW C63 Dragonfly blue GMT? I just got back in touch with the CW folks. I'm hoping to have more of their watches on for review in the future By the way, if you are down with the gray market, the Mido Ocean Star 600 chronometer (cost) is 1200 on Joma I reviewed the black DLC version, and oh boy, there's no better value 😎

    Yeah, unless you are absolutely in love with this, every single choice made by my nomadic 1200 is a bit of a none starter For example, I just noticed that Jomashio has the Ocean Star 600 cost on sale for 1190 stainless steel and black DLC Those watches are insane value I reviewed the black dlc a few months ago kzread.info/dash/bejne/mqSmzcGiZaSYYqQ.htmlsi=Uv-bxSJjY1bM2W_m

    Yeah, I agree, It's why I mentioned some of the other brands I To justify the watch at 1200, you need to be looking for this exact watch Otherwise, a Tissot Gentleman might offer better value Thanks for commenting 🍔🍺

    In Nomadic's defence, it's hard to make a watch that isn't a homage to Rolex in at least some parts - Rolex is so well established and influential that if you ask anyone to draw a picture of a watch, chances are it'll look Rolex-esque. Also, as a Brit, it's nice to see another UK watch brand getting out there - my dream is to see a revival of great British watchmaking like it was in the 1800s, with a host of top watchmakers and with movements and parts once again made in the UK. That being said, this Nomadic is not quite there yet. The fit and finishing of the case and bracelet look good, if not spectacular, but I think it's the little details that let them down. Things like the hands, for example. When you look at another British microbrand, Alkin, and the way their handsets and markers work so coherently together on their Model 3, the Nomadic lags way behind. Also the price is ridiculous - yes, it's a Swiss movement and so costs more than the Alkin's Miyota, but it's not even regulated or nicely decorated. If Nomadic can get these things sorted and reduce the price somewhat, they might be able to carve out a great niche for themselves in an already very crowded market. If not, I suspect they'll be yet another microbrand flash in the pan. My fingers are crossed for them.

    I agree with you I tried to be as fair and honest as possible in my reviews, and the design cues don't bother me Then, if you are going to borrow, borrow from the best lol I think Nomadic has lots of potential. I love what they are doing, but at the current RRP, theres are a lot of optjons which are next to impossible not to describe qs also being better options Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts 🍺🍔
